This time it was different, he didn’t release her right away he continued to kiss her and as he did, he felt the kicks and fists stop. He could feel her relax in his arms and felt her kissing him back, with the same force he gave her. Robert felt Anna wrap her arms around his neck and push her lips closer to his as they both deepened the kiss and their tongues tangled and danced together.
Robert relaxed into the kiss and forgot where he was at as his hands traveled up and down her back and they held each other. Then he heard the cheers once more from the crowds, and someone hollering Major Marsh won this one. He felt her instantly stiffen in his grip, and try to pull away. Damn crowd he thought to himself.
Anna was furious at herself for responding to this rogue of a man once more, and without thinking she laid back and slugged him in the jaw with her fist. His grip released its hold on her instantly. The shock registered on his face, as she saw the mark she left on his jaw. The crowd were still roaring in laughter once more as she heard someone say, I believe Anna’s won this round.
Major Marsh had a dark look in his eyes, as he drilled his blue eyes into her green ones. “I hope you’re happy Miss Pemberton! It feels like you’ve broken my jaw. You are a dangerous woman to be around, and I guess I should have realized that the first day you fell on me on the deck.” He added with a slight grin on one corner of his lips.
“Well, I never Major Marsh!” Anna stuttered back, with her mouth ajar. “I’ll have you know that was all your fault, so don’t go blaming me for your blunderings!”
Robert looked around and remembered the crowd. Damn ship, he thought to himself! “I hope everyone has enjoyed the show, but it’s over so I suggest you find another means of entertainment.” He allowed holding his jaw and glaring at them.
